Sustainably Speaking,Now is the time to start your journey. I’ve told you what Sustainability is about, I’ve shown you how to commit. Did you? If not, do it immediately, or you may just miss the boat.
Taking the first step can be a big deal, but it actually is easier than you think. First off, in order to get started on your journey, you must figure out where you are and where you want to be. So, it’s time to assess the situation in a way that makes sense to you and is easy to do. In our business we started by identifying the areas of our business as they relate to sustainability. This can be done by doing some research on your own, by hiring a sustainable consultant, or by joining a group or an association whose mission is to help you become more sustainable.
Fortunately, Portland has many of such groups, one of which is tailored to the Catering and Events industry.

Guest Writer for Portland Biz Connect e-zine

Sometime recently it dawned on me that as a Chef, I never really thought much about public speaking and writing.  I mean, I have had my share of soap boxes, and this blogging thing seems harmless enough, but writing articles and speaking to public utility companies about Sustainability was not something I had previously considered.  It’s been fun and interesting and a great process to grow and learn as well.

I had met Megan Doern from the Portland Business Alliance on an Alliance wine tour of  Sokol Blosser Winery.  During the bus ride we had chatted about the food, wine, the Alliance, and Sustainability.  Megan mentioned about the Aliiance e-zine titled Small Biz Connection.  She had said the August/September issue would feature agriculture and and sustainable farming.  Well… one thing let to another (and a few glasses of wine later) and the next thing I know, I am a writing an article for them!
